The iMessage/stolen phone thing
What Apple needs to do is (conceptually) really bloody simple: when a remote wipe occurs, or a device is activated without having iMessage/FaceTime credentials to hand (i.e., because it’s a factory reset rather than a restore-from-backup), remove the device’s UDID from iMessage’s and FaceTime’s respective databases.
And, er, that’s about it.
